The NYT Rejection

Submitted by politicalWinters on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 10:15am.

There's a little firestorm brewing over The New York Times' refusal to run an op-ed piece by John McCain.

McCain's piece was in response to one published by the NYT from Barack Obama about a week ago.

Quote: In an e-mail to the McCain campaign, Opinion Page Editor David Shipley said he could not accept the piece as written, but would be "pleased, though, to look at another draft."

You can check out a story about the controversy here, as well as read Obama's and McCain's articles.
